Riding lawnmowers-best invention ever!

So, I woke up today, to mow the lawn. Our pusher has had 5 good years of service, and she still runs, but spits and sputters and dies often. I won't go into details on that thing, as that's not what this is about. My mother came up with the bright idea of getting a rider, and suprisingly, it happened. I went to lowe's, picked out what I liked, we got it, loaded it into their truck to get it home, and that was that. There was a cupon for 10% off on everything, EXCEPT john deer stuff. So, thay atleast tried to give us 10% on the truck rental. Well, somehow 10% on a $19.99 rental turned into giving us a credit of $187.96! So, looks like we got the discount anyway!

Getting it home, off the truck, etc. I put gas in it, fired it right up. Takes some time to get used to it, but wow, it's actually hauling ass! There are ruts on my lawn from burnouts (grounds wet) and in 5th gear, it scoots! What usually took me about 2 hours to mow, cut down to 45 mins, and that was me learning how to mow on this thing in 3rd gear. Next time, i'll bump it up a gear or two, and haul ass. I'm actually excited to mow!! It's got cruise control, 5 gears, 18.5 hp, cup holder, cell p\hone holder (actually has a pic of a cell phone) and a few other goodies. Anyone else just get into the riding technology lately? I feel soo outta date, but wow, it's fun!
